The PP denounces that the sex education plan for 3 -year -old children in Catalonia will undergo citizen consultation

Citizens of Catalonia may comment on what content in sex education should be taught in the schools and institutes of this community to students between three and 16 years. He Sexual Training Program that the Generalitat intends to introduce from the next course in all classrooms of the compulsory school stage, which is already had a draft, will be hung on the website of the Citizen Participation Portal To “be able to collect the contributions of citizens, professionals and entities,” as announced in the Eduction Commission of the Parliament, the general director of Inclusive Education in the Parliament, Susana Terapiella.

The Education spokeswoman explained that “a first diagnosis has already been made, a participatory process with families and professionals of education and the review of international experiences, from which a document proposal has been developed” and has advanced that now this text will undergo a process of participation to collect contributions and reach a “consensual” approach. «The goal is to mark the Learning objectives adapted to each ETAPTo educational to offer children and young people the necessary information in this area, ”said Terapiella.

The preliminary text advocates, among other things, to create a curriculum in which “body, gender, sexual and reproductive sovereignty of children and adolescents” is implemented. Terapiella has specified that the model will propose affective and sexual education for three stages: Infant (3-6 years), Primary (6-12) and Secondary (12-16). And recalled that each stage addresses “Very diverse realities” and that the objective is to adapt the learning to each of these realities.

In Primary, the head of the Generalitat has set as objectives the work of the Equal and respectful relationshipsthe knowledge of the body parts and the changes that occur, the prevention of violence and a work that addresses the fact that there is an earlier consumption of pornography.

With regard to high school, the director has said that adolescents have to be able to respect the body, establish healthy and respectful relationships and Prevent abuse and sexually transmitted diseasesamong others. On what professionals these contents will impart, Terapiella has said that co -education, coexistence and well -being coordinators (Cocobes) have to have a key role, as well as tutors and high school counselors.

PP and VOX have forcefully expressed their opposition to this plan. “There is nothing to teach about sexuality to children of three or four years,” the popular deputy replicated Cristian Escribanowho has demanded that “any content taught in schools to these infants to be consulted to families.” «From the PP we consider that sex education should not be given to children of this stage. We would prohibit it, but as we see that there is political consensus and will forward we demand that any content of this matter be agreed with families, ”says Escribano in statements to ABC. Escribano has also criticized that “anyone, even a depraved, can comment on what to teach our children in sex education.”

From Vox, the deputy Manuel Jesús Acosta It has also expressed its total opposition to this program being taken to centers as curricular material and has considered that this type of education is a “form of early indoctrination.”

From the next year, three -year -old children who go to school in Catalonia could begin to receive sexual formations. The Parliament has approved a motion to implement in the course 2025-2026 «Integral sex education as a curricular matter in children, primary and secondary». As ABC denounced, the political will of the Generalitat does not house with the doctrine that, subtle, set the last education law known as CELAÁ LAW. In the standard approved by the Socialists in 2020, the incorporation of affective-sexual education from high school was mentioned, when students are between 12 and 13 years old. This is: ten years after what now seeks to implement Illa.
